The lobbyists-in-training met with legislators from their home districts, explaining the risks the pipeline presents and suggesting legislative action to address the issue. Students asked the lawmakers to pressure federal regulators to require Enbridge to replace the pipeline, or, failing that, to consider working to move the pipeline from federal to state jurisdiction.

The students reported that several legislators seemed supportive, a few seemed skeptical, and others were unaware that the pipeline even existed beneath the Mighty Mac.
